Possible. Aethon was the Ultramarines 19th company captain present at Calth. He was also the man Guilliman was considering for becoming 'Tetrarch' of Calth. Cool that they picked such an important Ultramarine character without Forgeworld rules to get his own miniature this way.

£95 for what would normally cost ~£350 (according to http://www.spikeybits.com/2015/10/breaking-unseen-horus-heresy-box-set-pics.html) is a good deal! Except ...

Given that I'm a Space Wolves player, my 30k legion is clearly going to be Vlka Fenryka. But to what extent will it be possible to take these icon-independent legionnaires and turn them into Vlka's? Given that Forgeworld's stance for not doing Vlka's to date (along with Thousand Sons) is reportedly the variance between them and the 'regular' legions - I suspect the answer would be not very well.

So, do I buy it now but leave it unopened (on the basis that it may be limited edition, may go up in price, etc)? Do I take the plunge and paint up some grey coloured legionnaires - in the hope that I'll be able to go back later and convert them, and still do a good job! Or do I wait patiently, and hope that once the wolves do get some attention - the boxset is still available (if it is proven that they can be converted)?

There's still two things that are on my mind though - firstly, I'm not a huge fan of the MkIV (backpacks especially); and secondly, I'm unclear what aesthetic to go for with them. In the 41st millennium, it's clearly the feral, wolf thing. But what about their time as the Emperor's Executioners? How wild would their appearance have been?

That box would practically cover all of the infantry I need to complete my IF army, I would just need to buy shields to make the phalanx warders and another breacher squad, leaving one of them as a tactical squad (sadly the lack of mkIII means I'll have to sell one kidney to get my squad of templar brethren and a heavy weapons squad), and while I already have a contemptor and a terminator squad, they are units that are always welcome. And that chaplain is one hell of a sexy mini! If I managed to get another one, it would make a great standard bearer...
